100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups – Week#66

The prompt chose itself this week.

…. the silence was deafening…..

As usual you have 100 words to add to the 4 above making a total of 104. Make your entries suitable for a PG certificate as I’m hoping to do a joint prompt with the children soon and it is good to practice!

If you have stumbled across this blog and are completely confused with what this is all about, do read ‘What is 100WCGU?’ Feel free to leave a comment below if it still does not make sense. The link will remain open until 19th November

Here is my story:

The silence was deafening when my grade school math teacher called on me. I was not a mathematical person and everyone in the room knew it except her. My nose was six inches from the black board, the chalk in my hand inert, as I stared at the problem she had written. Was it written in Chinese characters? I was frozen with fear. All of a sudden my forehead was bouncing off the blackboard. She had pushed the back of my head to prompt some action from the chalk. My eyes welled with tears. I returned to my desk; she called her next victim.
